I SO feel your pain. Clusterf.... from hell!!

As a long time user of FCP 7 I'm now on CS6, no problems. Just wish Speed grade was more developed and more of a 2 way street than a one street. But hey I'm sure things will change.

Your horror story just confirms my opinion of why I didn't go Avid on the change over. I'm not a software engineer but it seems to me Avid has built there new software on top of the old system or old beliefs. Journey into the sub menus & you'll find huge sub menus seemingly a legacy from the "Old" Avid. To Avid's credit they handle single format projects well. But start throwing in modern camera files & standards than I think Adobe has it covered.

Multi format without transcoding, that's the future right there ....can Avid gets its head around that & build something new from the ground up ...who knows..I dont think Avid knows either.
